Rewards are appearing in new tabs but the ads are not being counted or tracked. Since last some days I have received multiple ads but the ad count in my dashboard is stuck at 2 ads.
Same happening in my mobile browser too!

Brave used to pay us for every ad seen, regardless of where the ad was from. They were able to do this because they set aside a growth fund from when they did their initial token offerings. They used that fund to send extra bonuses to people and also to pay everyone for house ads.
In 2024, that fund was used up. The result is that Brave has stopped paying us when we view house ads. We now only are paid for ads that Brave is paid to show us.
If you’re not familiar with the term, house ads are the ads about Brave’s own products and services. So their surveys, advertising about VPN or Leo, Wallet, etc will pay 0 BAT.
When we see those ads, it will not increase the ads viewed counter. The ads viewed counter will only increase if we have seen an ad that we get paid to see.
got it thanks. someone on reddit told me the same.
